The administration has given the OK to a 40s on 40 replacement: as reported last Monday, its replacement will be “The Senior BBQ,” held on April 7th from 12-2. How much this will differ from last year’s incarnation remains to be seen, but no doubt last year’s rural-farm-esque fence will be a key part of the humiliation.
Also, side note to potential brownbaggers: our fine university thinks snow kills small children, so your beverage will probably be considered first-degree murder. Slake your thirst at your own risk.

@stop being LAME. Seriously STOP IT. Skip class. Also who was class from 1215-110. I dunno maybe you do, but SKIP IT.
@what about Passover? Isn’t the number of students who are affected by class much greater than the number affected by Passover? Bullshit.
@FINALLY obviously 12-2 is a completely unreasonable time for any senior activity.
@BBQ As far as I recall, there has always been a barbecue in April– at least for every year since I’ve been a freshman– and it’s been for all of the classes. Alcoholic beverages have been supplied for those 21+, but the barbecue has been supplied for all. And one time, at least, it rained furiously and everything was drenched in water.
@so... we’ll go to the BBQ crap on the 7th, and then on the 9th (when 40s on 40 ACTUALLY is) we will brown bag it… DO BOTH!
The “war on fun” may actually be winning said “war”… but we could at least put up a good fight for a battle or two…
@lets re-name it NEWMAN’S DAY! one beer an hour!
@does anybody actually know when 40s on 40 is? is april 7th correct?
@mmm I can just taste the dry overcooked hamburgers now…
@lunch so, basically, columbia is buying seniors lunch?
@Or... Drink in front of Lewisohn, talk for the sake of talking, and attempt to creepily hit on freshman girls!
@on a Tuesday+ from 12-2??? What about those of us who have CLASS?
@if... you have class you skip it and stop crying.
or just don’t go and drink on your own.
@You do realize That the Passover is actually 40’s on 40, which is why it had to be moved to a Tuesday…
@ridiculous PASSOVER? Thats why they moved it? This is a fucking non-denominational university!!!!!!
@will tgere be beer at the BBQ
@oh boy where do i sign up!
@FUCK THIS SHIT THEY LIKELY WONT ARREST US ALL; LETS STOP BITCHING AND JUST DO 40S ON 40…
@yeaaaa, but Who really wants to drink in front of Mathematics?
@MATH MAJORS UNITE!
We’ll differentiate your ass so hard your colon will look like a klein bottle!
@drink... in front of fayerweather and contemplate the historical nature of public drinking!
@cc'08 the key to drinking on 40s on 40 is just to avoid Low Plaza. every public safety guy and his mom is down there. a bunch of us drank from Nalgene bottles by Mathmatics last year and no one came near us.
@student student councils are a sellout
@brownbagger they can’t stop all of us. or they can try, but I’ll give them a run for their money
@EAL Fuck it, man. I’m brownbagging. Let them try to arrest me.
@problem If it is from Columbia Catering, it is not a BBQ. It is a cookout. Unless the seniors get to make a giant bonfire.
@true I was just going to say that. its cookout unless brisket, ribs or pulled pork are served after being cooked/smoked over a fire. i hate that everyone up here calls cookouts bbqs. its a disgrace to true BBQs everywhere.
